I went over to the neighbor's 600 acre farm today and pulled about 2 cords of red oak out from a nearly 2 year dead tree. Attached are pictures of my rig. The MS362 made some nice work of the rounds (I'm running a 20" bar and the rounds were about 28-36"). The only bummer to an otherwise great day was when one of the rounds slipped and pulled my chain off (brand new one). It didn't ruin the chain but I did need to file the burrs off the guides. O well. It was still a good day!

where's the firewood? I only saw a truck and some wood cutting stuff left in the woods!

Just kidding, looked like a good day and ANY day with your dad is especially GOOD!!

Here are a few pictures of the beasty. It was very tall and I think a bad storm finally uprooted it.

DANG! Nice tractor! Need a bigger trailer to spend more time in the woods, though!

I would have strapped those Fritos down lest they take a bad bounce on the way out of the woods. Or at the very least, eat them quick before I pulled out.

Man you got some fancy new looking gear there, no rust, dents, the tractor's all shiny, brand new lookin saw, you win the Lotto or somethin?

 

[tomcatbubba]

Nah, just careful with my stuff I guess. Financed the tractor and I have a farm so I depreciate it. The saw is only about 4 months old but I've already put about 40 tanks of fuel through it.

I can appreciate a man taking care of his tools. It usually an indication of the quality of work one does.

That trucks way to nice for a firewood rig buddy haha!

 

[tomcatbubba]

Its an '03 with 90K miles. I take care of my stuff, my Dad REALLY takes care of his stuff.

I'm gonna ahve to snap a few pics of how the other half does it with a cobbed together JD 40C, a '59 Willys and a mess of saws that were given to me or rebuilt from junk. I'm a farmer too, guess I'm just further along!
